Former Liverpool manager Gerard Houllier has claimed that the current team are "good enough" to win the Premier League title this season.

The Reds have enjoyed a promising start to the new campaign, recording away victories over both Arsenal and Chelsea before thrashing Hull City 5-1 at Anfield last weekend.

Jurgen Klopp's side have moved up to second favourites to win the title as a result, and Houllier believes that there is still more to come from the Merseyside outfit.

"They are good enough [to win the league]," Houllier told reporters.

"They are entertaining and also extremely efficient. You just have to see the number of goals they score. They have a new philosophy and I like the coach. The best is yet to come."

Liverpool currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, five points adrift of early leaders Manchester City.
